to the nrobation and parole officer.
He, as the others, was warned
that probation will be revoked if
he gets into trouble again.
Judge Wimbcrly admonished
the boys, telling thorn they were
"flirting with the penitentiary" by
committing the burglary. Ho also
pointed out that they might have
been shot by officers while com
mitting the crime,
"There are too many of these
17, 18 and 19-5'ear-olds getting
into trouble and committing fel
onies," the judge said, "and I
don't like it."'
All three of the youths promised
they would make an effort to stay'
out of further trouble. The mother
of one of them had some anxious
moments between the time the
judge said "three ypars in the
penitentiary" and "probation."
She wept with quiet relief when
the judge said he would grant pro
bation. The boys arc three of seven
youths charged with the store bur
glary, in which about $100 in
change and cigarettes wore taken.
Three, aged 16, are under the jur
isdiction of the juvenile court. The
other one, Ralph Gutierrez, 26, is
out on bond.

Truck Rate Hike
Gets ICC Backing
WASHINGTON W An Inter
state Commerce Commission ex
aminer has recommended a reduc
tion of interstate truck rates in
some Pacific Northwest areas.
In a report to the ICC, Exam
iner Samuel Horwich said Wednes
day that in an answer to com
plaints from some shipping inter
ests a 15 per cent increase placed
In effect in Montana, Wyoming and
Colorado in 1952 should be reduced
to 12 per cent to match rates in
effect in Washington, Oregon and
Idaho.
Horwich explained the truckers
put a general 6 per cent increase
in effect throughout the area in
1952. But to maintain relationships
between interstate and intrastate
rates, Washington, Oregon and Id
aho added six per cent and Mon
tana, Wyoming and Colorado 9 per
cent.
He said the Montana-Wyoming-Colorado
rates should be cut to
achieve a balance.

Forces Add New Look,!
Eisenhower Reveals
(Continued from Page One)
duction of troop strength, which is
expected to bring the Army down
from a present manpower level
of about 1 million to a force of
about 1,128,000 by the summer of
1955.
The build-up in air power is ex
pected to include expanding the
Air Force to a strength of 116 1-3
wings during the year, to 127
wings two years hence and later
to an eventual goal of 137 wings.
Present strength of the Air Force
is 110 wings, of which about 105
are at full effectiveness.
3. "Our armed forces must re
pain maximum mobility of action.
Our strategic reserves must be
centrally placed and readily em
ployable to meet sudden aggres
sion against ourselves and out Al
iics." Shown In Withdrawal
Eisenhower had presented this
idea in announcing Dec. 26 that
two Army divisions are to be with
drawn from the forces on the truce
line in Korea. He said in that an
nouncement the two divisions
would be returned to the United
States. In the same announcement,
he emphasized the highly mobile
feature of the armed forces.
4. "fay alone will not retain in
the career service of our armed
forces the necessary numbers of
long-term oersonnel. I strongly
urge, therefore, a more generou
use of other benefits important to
service morale. Among these arc
adequate living quarters and fam
ily housing units, and medical care
for dependents."
5. Abilitv to "convert swiftly
from partial to all-out mobiliza
tion" of war goods production is
imperative. "For the first time,
mobilization officials know what
the requirements are for 1,000 ma
jor ilefns needed for military use"
and thus the country "is at least
to have an up-to-date mobilization
base." . -Continint
Strengthened
6. Continental defense measures
"must and are being strength
ened." In the next fiscal year the
government will spend nearly a
billion dollars more than in the
present year.
Eisenhower announced that "we
shall maintain indefinitely our
bases in Okinawa." Segments of
the Japanese press have been urg
ing recently that Okinawa be re
turned to Japan. The big island,
south of Japan and off the Communist-controlled
Asian mainland,
can provide the United States wirh
a powerful forward bastion when
eventually it gives up its bases!
